Yea; it also seems like the "NORM" is to finish college in 5 or 6 years. My daughter is getting ready to graduate from college this coming year. It is her 4th year. We've actually had friends, neighbors, etc... ask us if she transferred a lot of college credit from a community college or if she tool college classes during high school. I told them; no this is just her regular schedule.
Even if you only take 15 credits per semester, you should be able to graduate in 4 years. Many of my daughter's classes were 4 credit classes. She ALWAYS took at least 5 classes; getting 15-17 credits per semester. Many kids say 5-6 years is normal now because "College is Harder" than when we went. Sorry, but the answer is; "Many kids have no idea what they're doing, aren't ready for college, and they change their major and classes. Plus, Many only take 12 credits". 12 is considered a "Full Time Student". Oh well, I guess not everything improves for the best.
If a person is interested in the academy, they better be ready to do around 18 credits each semester on average. Later... Mike.....
